Where's my Welcome Page?

[Francis Hogan]

Hi All,
First time poster, hope you can help me out with this.

I'm making a series of buttons that when the Over event occurs they go to an image to represent the different areas of the site. So when the SWF opens you see a welcome page image, move the mouse over the buttons and you see other images in the place of the welcome page image. The problem is if I mouse Over the welcome button it doesn't play the welcome image again. All the other buttons play their images but not the welcome button, it continues to show the image associated with the last non-Welcome button that was Over'ed.

So how do I get the Welcome image to play when the Welcome button is Over'ed?

I'm going to try to insert an image of my timeline and action scripts for the Welcome button.

Thanks for reading.

Firstly, all your animations for your buttons should never be on the main timeline (root), nest them inside MCs instead. Next, try using MCs with onRollOver/Out/Press functions instead of buttons, as they offermore flexibility.

Now regarding your question, from your description I can't really tell much, but it may be due to your action that you placed on the first frame, as its the only part of the timeline which differs from the other sections. All the other sections only have AS at the end, the welcome section has AS at both the front and the back.

Again, this is a GUESS, maybe you could upload your source.
